I follow three different D&D shows and sometimes there are recurrent patterns. From last Sunday to this Thursday, this week's theme is "the pcs are in some serious trouble and I honestly thought someone gonna die but actually everything did go pretty well and everyone was clutch" and I'm digging it.
Everyone should watch the first 25 minutes of Roll20 Presents Dungeon and Dragons Ghost of Saltmarsh for the in depth discussion on the Ceremony spell.
Tactical weddings. Dispel magic? Marry them, kill them, animate them, 7 days later have a regular zombie, rinse and repeat. Shield or spouse?

For once, this post is not about Critical Role, but it is still D&D-adjacent.
With the release of the D&D campaign setting Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, there is many rpg series available on the official Dungeons & Dragons’ Youtube Channel.
Some days ago I have begun to watch a new one, Roll20 presents: Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, one of its main character is a half-elf bard and I love her sooo much.
Rinn Stillwater is a not musically-inclined bard (she can technically play violin but it’s a very... experimental style), who is facinated by arcane lore and wizards. As we learn in the first episode, she was polymorphed into a raven to be a wizard’s familiar for ten years. Her main sorrow is to be ,in her own words, “not smart enought to become a wizard”.
She gives me a new perspective on lawful characters, which I wasn’t a fan of. She is a very ambitious, driven, charismatic and endearing character whose main job is to negotiate with NPCs because her companions either don’t want to talk to them or want to kill them.
Coming Soon to a Livestream Near You!
Next month be prepared for the adventure of a lifetime. GM Shareef Jackson is bringing a whole new cast together to explore the world of Kids on Bikes. Come meet them and get hyped alongside them for a collaborative story-telling roleplaying game full of ordinary people grappling with strange, terrifying, and very, very powerful forces. Join them all on February 15 at 8am PT (4pm UTC) as they begin their journey together!
Meet the cast:
Shareef Jackson (Game Master) is a STEM diversity advocate who enjoys video games and TTRPGs! Follow him at shareefjackson.com, http://twitter.com/shareefjackson, or http://twitch.tv/reefjackson for links to his work.
My goal is to use the Kids on Bikes system to build a world that everyone can participate in. I also want to promote a diverse cast of players, as well as in game characters, to show that tabletop RPGs can be enjoyed by everyone. - Shareef

One of the things I'm excited about with this upcoming Kids on Bikes campaign is the wonderful diversity representation. Differing ethnicities, gender identities and backgrounds both on & behind the scenes. Not only that, but we'll have the feel good pleasure of having a Kids On Bikes campaign where yes, anything thrilling can happen (like Space Robots, possessed toasters, and aliens that can do the Tango) but also real social commentary can be done with knowledgeable and experienced people co-creating together. The possibilities are pretty beautiful and I'm excited to be a part of it. - Markeia

I love collaborative world building. I think it's so much fun to create and explore a world together, using one tid bit here to fuel another. Setting the mood, and creating something zany, fun, and lovely - or all three. It's almost like improv, but only for my head and shoulders. - Xu

What I’m most excited about is trying out this new system. Kids on Bikes is something that I’ve heard so much about but never got to get my hands on until now. Plus I get that added benefit of playing this new system with such amazing players, I have not played a single game with any of the cast so this is so terribly exciting that I can’t wait. I know we’re going to bring something special together and I can’t wait for you all to see it! - Noir

I’ve never gotten to play Kids on Bikes and I’ve always wanted to try! I love the collaborative world building aspect of the system and I can’t wait to see what we all create together! - Kailey

More on the Indie Showcase 2021 from go_jg!
It's a new year and that means a new season of Roll20's Indie Showcase. This year will feature not just new games but an all new host team!
If you’re meeting me for the first time, hi, my name is Jess (she/they). I’m a queer Canadian streamer, writer, producer,content creator, and a heckin huge nerd for indie games. As much as I appreciate the big name games for introducing me to TTRPGs, it’s indie games that have won my heart. That’s why I’m so excited to get to co-produce this new season of Roll20’s Indie Showcase alongside the wonderful Bee Zelda. I’m looking forward to showing off some fun indie games that are in the Roll20 marketplace, as well as some you can build into Roll20 yourself. We have an impressive assortment of games this season with great casts of folx to play them. I think everyone will find something new to enjoy: intriguing mechanics, GM-less cooperative narrative control, and even some new takes on old systems you already love.
For my first game of the season I’m excited to be showcasing One Last Fight by Ethan Hudgens. In One Last Fight you are a heroic party on your way to the final battle with your nemesis. This game is a great one shot for folx who want to create a really dramatic story and features really fun pieces that make it feel like you’re playing both a board game and a role playing game. The weeks that follow will have everything from magical girls to animal folks, warrior princesses and lots more!
- Jess (go_jg)
Roll20 Indie Showcase | One Last Fight airs live on Tuesday January 19, 3pm PT (11pm UTC) on twitch.tv/roll20app.

Welcome GabeJamesGames to Roll20 Presents!
A shadowed figure approaches Witkha, Pasha, and Karasu. He raises a hand from beneath the blue scarf on his dark leather armor, and his long black hair slides over a shoulder. The tattoos on his right hand glow against his brown and green patterned skin as they hit the light. He smiles warmly before addressing the group, a slight hiss to his voice, “I heard you need help. My name is Basil.”
As Tink sets off on her dragon-hunting journey, a new adventurer joins the Lost Mine of Phandelver!
